fermi's paradox       
                          
                                          
 on earth  (the planet  where  i  live) a 
 lot of  us  have antennas  on our houses 
 or  balconies,   we  have   built  large 
 antennas for  larger  bandwith, we  have 
     build specialized antennaes for      
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into orbit), we've built  large  as fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually built  an antenna with a 
         dish as large as earth.          
                                          
 we've learned about our  position in the 
     solar system, our solar systems      
 placement  in   the   galaxy,  and   our 
 galaxys placement  in the local cluster, 
 and our  local clusters place  in  the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the suns moving around  the 
 center of  the galaxy  at  velocity  and 
 the  galaxy is  moving toward  andromeda 
   and we're both moving anticlockwise    
 around the  galaxy. and we as a  species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and despite  all this,  despite all  our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio  programmes  out in  fucking space 
 at  the speed  of  light  (light is  our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
   filtering, despite our very obvious    
 beaming  of all  our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no       one       has       answered

              so why is that?             
                                          
 most  opponents  to  intelligent life in 
 the universe say  it's because  you need 
 a  class  one-or-the-other star  and the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance  away from the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but   really  isn't   that  keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i  think everyone agrees that we have no 
 idea what  we're doing (and it  probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna go  smoke my third  cigarette 
 this year and  try to  snatch some beers 
        from the local beer thing
